THE ERA OF TRUMP

[Xenophon]

You are obsessed with a utopia that never was and never will be. That does not mean that we should not always strive for better, but it does mean that life presents options, not utopias.

Yes, corps commit corruption, pols too. This is still the best time (or close to it) in the best country to be alive.

Absolutely. Your opportunities to make wealth are greater here and now than any other time or place in history.

That's a ridiculous statement.

In absolute terms perhaps, you're right. I certainly have a better chance of getting a cell phone than a guy at any other point in history. I'm certainly better off than most of the world - im not blind to that.

In relative terms of wealth though, we are approaching French Revolution levels of inequality. Don't be distracted by the pretties that you have, while .01% of the Ruling Class have 90% of the money.

The "richest country in history" has packed all of its riches into one corner, and condemned the vast majority of its citizens to second-class status, with the appropriate police state measures to keep it that way. This can not and will not be sustained.

I know it sounds like a rich kid getting a tiny fraction of the inheritance, but that's still my money dammit.

Or...work harder and network. That's the secret to getting ahead. If you want more money just because you roll out of bed in the morning, good luck.

With all the charges, they have to be looking at most their lives behind bars.

Good. If Trump is so buddy-buddy with Putin, maybe we can export violent offenders to a Siberian gulag, thereby saving American taxpayers money on keeping these flesh sacks breathing.

The labour camp in Krasnoyarsk, is actually rather pleasant, compared to an American maximum security penitentiary.

Where would you suggest we send the undesirables? Keep in mind, the objective is to lessen the burden on the American taxpayer.

How bout you ignore what everyone else has that you don't and recognize that you have indoor plumbing, something kings and queens didn't have for centuries. Jesus you sound like a spoiled 15 year old girl.

What, a Corvette? But Becky got a Mercedes!

I hear that's difficult,

[Kazmyr]

Well.... shit.

Way to crush my dreams Okee.

Send 'em to the void then.

[Speaker to Animals]

It takes massive delta v to get to Sol. Yuge.

[Kazmyr]

So.... how about volcano sacrifice?

I'm sure that the other 99.9% of us are just lazy.

Because it's my fucking money (and yours). We earned it, and it's being ripped out of our pockets every single day to feed the disgusting fat cats at the top.

Manufactured inflation, gross corruption, price fixing, tax subsidies, special interests, on and on - oh, and poisoning my fucking water and air while telling me to conserve resources. Yeah, I'm spoiled I guess.
